Do you wanna take me cruising on an ocean liner to places I long to see?
|
Well, with my champagne taste and your beer bottle pockets
|
Don't forget to write me when you get there in your row-boat
|
When you've paddled across the sea without me
|
|
Do you see us dining on caviar and pheasant with decedents of royalty?
|
Well with my champagne taste and your beer bottle pockets
|
I'll be having pheasant while you're dining with the peasants
|
Dunking donuts in a diner without me
|
|
You said, "You have ambition to make my dream come true"
|
Well brother you just keep right on wishing
|
And all of my dreams will come true, without you
|
|
Do you see me in a jaguar with all the accessories
|
And one of those accessories is you?
|
Well with my champagne taste and your beer bottle pocket
|
Take back your jaguar accessories etcetera
|
And drive back to your dreamland without me
|
|
And if I wanted diamonds you'd offer me breakfast at Tiffanie's
|
And luncheons at Cartier's you'd recommend
|
Well with my champagne taste and your beer bottle pockets
|
You will have to work-on something better than a zircon
|
Because your diamonds of this girl's are worst friend
|
|
You said, "You'd promise me anything to make my life a feast"
|
You didn't give me anything, not even arpege you beast
|
And it wouldn't surprise me if a lady like Godiva
|
Had someone like you to give her the stole
|
|
For with her champagne taste and your beer bottle pocket
|
When she couldn't get those dresses
|
She just let down all her tresses and forgot she was a lady after all
|
|
So if you want me to be apart of your permanent employ
|
Before my champagne fizzles come up with the real McCoy
|
Show me you can separate the man from the boy
|
And bring me a constant life of champagne taste
|
